Christine Halleguen
Artist's model and wife
Claude Lantier's devoted wife in L'Œuvre. She posed for his first great canvas and has loved him ever since with a total, self-sacrificing love. As Claude becomes increasingly obsessed with his impossible painting, she watches him destroy himself, their son, and their marriage — a witness to artistic mania rendered with great tenderness.
Femme dévouée de Claude Lantier dans L'Œuvre. Elle l'aime d'un amour total et assiste impuissante à sa destruction par son œuvre impossible.
Dark-haired, fine-featured, with the worn patience of a woman who has given everything and knows it.
